Hollister Medical Adhesive, HOL7730, 3.2 Ounce

Product Information

Surgical & diagnostic medical devices include clamps, retractors, drills, scopes, and suction tips and tubes. In these applications, strict standards have to be met for adhesives to be qualified for use. One main safety consideration is the adhesive’s reaction with water, chemicals and oxygen; with incompatibility of the adhesive and application posing a threat to life. Finding the right adhesive solution for medical applications ensures that these threats are eliminated and user safety is paramount.

Permabond 4C20 A highly effective medical adhesive remover that helps reduce the pain associated with the removal of medical appliances(such as ostomy bags and flanges, adhesive wound dressings and monitoring equipment). A medical adhesive is considered to be any substance that has the ability to adhere to the skin. This category includes the dressings used to fix vascular catheters to it. All this results in a reduction in patients’ quality of life as they may experience pain, discomfort, or concern about the device and their skin lesion.Disposable medical devices include face masks, needles, blood collection devices, scalpels and filters. Many of these devices rely exclusively on adhesives, as they are too small or delicate for mechanical fasteners. Medical adhesives allow manufacturers to limit costs without compromising the performance of the apparatus by offering strong bonds that are safe for use in applications with oxygen and where the adhesive will be close to the patient or member of staff. Assistive Devices Henkel offers high quality and durable personal protection equipment material solutions for the following areas:
